THE CRINKLK
T
THE New York Evening iW haa
ascertained that "President
Taft's campaign lieutenants say
' , ; '. that several members of the
Oregon delegation will vote for his
renominatlpn j.t CTticago because of
a 'crinkled la the stato law which
will give them the necessary excuse."
' The crinkle is not in the Oregon
law but In i curbstone opinion by
the Oregon .attorney general. Hia
opinion no r.ore reflects what Is In
the preferential law than what is in
the latest cook book. . ,;
Under the law. the Tatt men in
the delegation are Instructed to vote
for Mr. Roosevelt, and If they do
' anything else so long aa (here. Is a
chance t6r Mr.' Rooseveltfe nomina
tion,' It will probably ' be .the jaflt
time they ever go to a national con
vention.
THE 6TROXG , ARM
EMMA GOLDMAN'S manager was
tarred and feathered In San
. Diego. Tuesday night, and Miss
Goldtnafl driven from the city.
It was mob violence, and mob vio
lence Is inexcusable- It Id. of .a kind
. i with, much ther violence in San
Diego during the I. W, W, engage
ment there.
ft But t W. W. agitators are them
' selves advocates of violence. They
boast. v that they are - direct-action
men... Their creed is to be founti on
thlfl page, and it is a. creed that will
'divorce them from the sympathy
that many' good people have been
.'wont to extend their propaganda.
, Their Invasion of San Diego waa
a violent proceeding. They hurried
Into that city from every part of the
, coast. ' r Jhey- pretended that - they
were .-lighting In San Diego for the
rlghjt of, free speech, when in fact
' they, were'defendtng free riot. ' ,

to the slightest extent dependent on

Afnerican courts and It will forever
continue to be upheld bf the same

HERB Is no use' to encunilier
the November ballot wrth Mr
URen's measure for 'a new
kind ot government in Oregon
It would not pass. It ahould not
pass.
It would not pass, because, the
people of Oregon are not ready to
change their form of . Government
every time they change their clothes
It would be beaten out of sight, be
cause it proposes revolutionary
changes that would frighten citizen
into a bitter and overwhelming op.
position.
it would be voted down over
whelmingly, because it proposes to
convert the state Into a government
al experiment station. It contains
almost every new fad in government
that has been heard of from New
Zealand to ihe North Pole.
It contains a little of almost ev
er;thing from the shor,t ballot to
Chinese suffiage, some of it good
and some bad. If there is anything
new that has been, proposed as
government experiment which is not
provided 'or In the plan, Mr. U'Hen
aoerus to have overlooked it. In
practical effect, it provides for an
almost -complete new system of gov
ernment and . docs not hesitate to
proceed' far In legislative enact
ments. It Is almost a new constitu
tion'and a new code of laws. It not
only, provides new jjl&ns of adminis
trative and- legislative government
for the state, but-complete new ar
rangements In county government.
Though Mr. U'Ren. .has aided In
doing many good things in Oregon,
his proposed plan will create theim
pression among those who' have
worked s'de by side with him In the
past, that he ia going too far In gov
ernmental tinkering.
By a vote of 49,974 against and
23,143 for, the -people voted down a
proposal fo a constitutional con
ventlon In 1910, but in 1912 Mr.
U'Ren has, held a little constitution
al convention of his own ; and may
offer the frult-ftr'tts labors to the
electorate.

lot with It It would be beaten and
It ought to be beaten.

Elijah was a Hebrew prophet of the
ninth centOry before Christ. It was
Elijah who appeared before King Ahab
of Israel, who had given himpelf up to
the idolatry of his Phoenician wife.
Jezebel, and predicted a great drought.
He . was compelled to seek refuge In
flight and concealment. - It-Was ln thla
hiding that he was fed by the ravens in
the torrent bod of the stream Cherlth
and by the widow whose dead son he re
stored to- life.
In the extremity of the famine Elijah
appeared, before Ahab, before whom he
called down fire from heaven to con
sume a sacrifice to Jehovah, with. the
result that the king ordered the exter
mination of the prophets of Baal. He
then put an end to the drought by
prayers to Jehovah. Late he de
nounced Ahab and : Jezebel for having
despoiled- and murdered Noboth, and
was eventually carried,. to heaven tn a
oharlot of fire.
i Elijah was perhaps the greatest of
the prophets of the northern kingdom.
He was of Tlshbeh In Gilead and the
narative conoernlng him Is taken from
a separate source and contains the tra
dition of the prophetical-companies. He

THE GOAT. .
The grecer stood ln his two shirt
sleeves; and be also stood In hia
store
And he sighed like a hers with the
horse-slsed heaves and he rub
bered his grocery o'er.
And he said: "if I cut down the prloe
of soap the gink on the corner
there
Will give It away as premium dope and
cut down my trade for fair.
If I chop, ddwn the price on the bakery
stuff and lose, say five dollars a
day, .
The bakers will come with their usual
bluff and take all their stale
goods away.t ,..
The grocer again sighed a sigh and a
haflf and he looked at tits prloe
list once more,
And then he burst forth ln a sorrel
horse laugh, and again looked hia
grocery o'er.
He found that the margin of profit he
made was heading him onto the
glide,
For the prices he paid to the whole
saling trade were high a the In
coming tide. '
But he was the fallow who got all the
kicks tne nigh cost waa laid at
, hie door.
And lie picked up a couple of cheeslflod
bricks and he slammed 'em, ker
plunk, on the floor.
Then he took all the -ags from the
goods here and there and marked
era all over again:
'Til show "era," he said.-"I'm-a regular
v baar: the two-bit stuff goes now
at ten."
When the customers cams they pro-
- - 1 ceeded to squeal at thil hlgih cost
of food and the like, -
Though -the prices were cut from tlia
head to the heel, e'en the middle
man's profit must hike.
And the rustoniMrs kicked and thf-y
bawled and-they hewled arrd they
called him a robber and thief,
And then when he showed 'em the cost
prloe they scowled and showed
their Inane disbelief. 1
Then the grocer arose In his wrath and
, . dismay and kicked in the front of
his store,,
And he jumped ln the creek at the close
of the day, and he hiked to the
Beautiful Shore.
FrorA the theological point of view very
noticeable Is the conscious monotheism
contained in his mockery. Tha story of
Elijah is rich ln the miraculous and
has on this account often been
called legend. Yet by his extraordinary
power he wrought, great changes In the
land. .The principal miracles which he
wrought before the people, the an
nouncement of .the drought and the or
deal on Carmel, admit no rationalistic
explanation. EMJah, produced an in
delible Impression upon, his contem
poraries and upon posterity.
